I've been using ADW.EX for a long while and have grown accustomed to their features and for the most part loved the experience. However, I just say QQ Launcher on AndroidSpin and this.. for lack of a better term... "really put some flavor on my sh*t"

Don't let the fact that it's chinese fool you. It looks and acts like a pretty solid product.

Been using Go launcher but this seems to be some good competition, will check out tonight
Looks good but no English? Ah that'll be hard to use lol. Let me know when they translate it though.

the included widgets are cool. the theme is awesome. it takes a lot from touch wiz 4 or the Sony arc launcher and adds a very nice miui like theme. folders in the drawer and transition animations are nice. and its themeable. not bad
Wow its sweet

I like it. Competes with Go Launcher.
Either I missed it or it doesn't have many options for making it act how I want. I couldn't find swiping options or anything.
If I missed it, please point me in the right direction so I can give it a fair shake...
thanks
Nice launcher, well Polish but missing a few key features that Go launcher offers. Facebook calendar Widgets also custom user icons. Will keep an eye on it tho.

My Phone Color Problem. Sorry My Bad English. All İcons and Backgrounds Color Problem.
I believe they re-themed certain icons, but I'm not sure.
I really like the MIUI-ish design of the switch shortcuts, but I'm not a fan of the list style of the app drawer. Can you customize the drawer, or is it the list style only?
Wow, I though this launcher was bad, but its amazing! It lags a little bit on the app screen, but that's probably because I need to restart my phone...

Cyanogen Mod comes with ADW launcher, but I like this one better.
Is there any setting to get it as default launcher?
Once you install it and click the home button it should bring up a prompt to ask you which launcher you want to use, you can set is as default from there. or you can go into application settings and clear defaults on ADW

I'm not sure this install includes the apps, like Allshare. After reading and then searching,i didn't see any references to it. It looks like its just the shell. Can anyone confirm? I would hate to add any more bloatware if I don't have to. I only want Allshare.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Correct its basically just the launcher shell
Its the fully working launcher, if your saying it does not have widgets your correct but no launcher comes with widgets. I know the guy its working on getting the widgets working as well.
I like rosie and the widgets the best my self, but the launcher works well but way to much like a iphone for me.
I can't install any of these without getting an application not installed warning.
Is there a work around?
confirmed... the launcher works fine on the evo. kinda plain with just the message and app icon on the bottom but the app drawer is nice. time to jazzy up the home screens a bit
Im with u....keeps giving me the same errors. do the phone have to be rooted or something

Any way to add more than just the message and app icon?
yea i really need a link to phone if im going to use it at all. exited for the widgets though.
note for anyone switching between this and other launchers, make sure you close this one when switching back if you dont reboot your phone, it will drain resources and battery.
Yeah its easy to add more icons to the bottom as seen in these pics, just while app draw is open hit menu/edit and drag the icons down and also you can re-order the apps as well.

i can hide the apps that i do not like (like moxier,and other)
so far i like it.
Lock screen is really nice. Thanks for the INfo (OP)

Wonder what damage it will do to the battery though!
So they caused the delay for 2.1 release. Probably they put hours in making this one and thought that it will all be wasted/
Now we all testing the battery.
the japanese has always something special and they keep proving this for us

Besides the animated wallpaper I don't see any other reason to choose this over ADW. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the wallpaper without having to run this launcher? In other words, can I use the live wallpaper with ADW?
Really really nice.
I thought live wallpaper is only supported by 2.1 and not by 1.6 ?
Anyway the "one and only" big reason why I´m waiting for 2.1 is the change of stupid lock screen on 1.6. Doesn´t work sufficient enough for me. I tried some lock-apps too, but no app was "much better" than the original one. On every call I have to hope I can unlock the screen. But this one in this pack works perfekt. Thanks for sharing.
Only good point is live screen..ADW is far better..

Yup, I got that too.
When I'm receiving a call it reverts back to the old lock screen, and when I'm done with the call I'll have to first unlock the default screen, and after that the AmbientTime one. Is there any way to force the AmbientTime lock screen to be used when receiving calls? If not, I guess I'll have to stick with ADW.
In the first post the wallpaper is very colorful but mine is simple! why?
Somewhere in the android world I have seen a picture of somebody using what appears to be a scrollable app launcher on their screen. This particular one was rounded and was on the side of the screen. Kind of like half of a rotary clock dialer, but instead of numbers it was apps.
Thanks for any ideas you have as to what I may be talking about!
Sounds like circlelauncher ...
Its half rotary cause the launcher is in the top, if its in the middle it will be full circle

That's not the exact one I was thinking of, but very similar.
The one I remember seeing I believe had a grey background and was only halfthe circle on either the left or right of the screen.
This one will work though if I can't find the one I was thinking of, though the one I remember looked better IMO. But it's possible it was just a particular rom feature.
Thanks!

Is that ultimate faves pro? If so, I was hoping what I was looking for was an actual widget and not a home replacement.
Small bump, still haven't found anything like I was remembering.
Would anyone be interested in making something like this?
It doesn't have to be curved or super fancy, but I'd love a widget (say 3 columns wide or 3 rows long) that I could place any number of apps into and scroll through them.
Of course after it gets made then it could be fancy, if somebody wished.
Not thinking of smart taskbar are you?
No it wasn't that one. Sorry for the long reply I thought I had this thread set up for notifications.
Hmmm I wonder if I just dreamed this.
I believe the app your talking about is called Clutch Pad by Steve Albright, it's available in the market for $1.99. Also, if your looking you something similar, but free, I'd recommend either Circle Launcher or SwipePad, both of which allow for launching apps without using the standard launcher.
Just putting this out there, seeing what kind of responses I get. Im basing this entire theme off of the tablet os that was used in the movie Tron Legacy. Its during the boardroom scene at the beginning of the movie. I really wanted to bring it to life and use it myself. So I decided to create a theme for it since I know other people are tired of the extremely crappy Tron themes in the market. lol. As always please let me know your thoughts and ideas. If it will encourage more people to use it, then Ill try to add your ideas into the theme. So long as they are reasonable and go with the entire theme's style. Thanks in advance.
I will be putting this theme up for sale in the app store as soon as I get my account squared away. So keep your eyes peeled for an update to this thread.

I would love something like this. My phone currently is themed with neon blues and oranges, would love something that looks as clean as this. Not sure how in depth you're going to go with the GO launcher theme, but if you made themed icons for it that were blue and orange neon that would be beautiful. I love using GO launcher, but there are no icon sets for it besides what the themers put in their themes, and they're usually not very extensive, so i'm using adw launcher as a stand in so that my icons are fully themed too. Would love to be back on Go launcher with a clean theme in these colors
You can always use adw icons on go launcher. That's what I do.

Could you elaborate a bit? I know I could pull the .pngs out of the .apk of the icon set that I'm using and replace each icon one by one on my desktop and dock, but for the app drawer I would need to modify every single one of my app .apks. Is there a specific way that you know of that you can apply a whole icon set made for ADW to GO launcher in one simple step that I'm somehow missing? Specifically, I'm using a few icon sets made by Sonny Sekhon, as they have over 560 icons in each set, the most thorough themeing that I have seen.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Sorry, that was a bit succinct. No way to set all the icons unless you decompile a theme and replace the images (which I have before) or replace them one by one as you mentioned, which I do. I like go launcher so I just take the time to build to suit and download any theme and extract the images I like.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Hey there, ok so ill try to get some icons included for you guys. Just give me a concise list of the most important icons youd like themed. Ill be using themefactory to add them in. Ill do my best to setup a nice looking theme for them. Im currently reworking the dock icons i have on the pic above. Didnt really like how they came out. Watch out for the updates.
If you are interested in seeing more of my KLP concept, click here to go to my Google+ page,
I got bored today and decided to draw up a similar concept to Jinesh Shah’s KLP concept... There were a few things I didn't really like on his concept but overall, the idea was great; not to mention, clean. So I will be whipping up personal concepts (and possibly into a ThemeChooser theme) of KLP.
Feed back would be nice! At some point I will upload the PDF's for anyone to tinker with, not that anyone would.
I'll be adding more concept pictures as I go. I'll probably do the dialer next, along with the lock screen following.
Cheers!
